Koroit residents are a buzz with rumours the township is set to gain its first brewery. Since the former McMahons Garage was sold earlier this year, the iconic red-brick building has been discretely undertaking negotiations. The commercial building is likely to be converted into Koroit’s first restaurant and craft brewery, with new owners hoping to have the venture up and running in time for Koroit’s annual Irish Festival in April.
